Over the next six years women are expected to take two-thirds of highly skilled roles in the UK, according to a recent report by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills. By 2020, 49% of women are predicted to have degree level qualifications and they already form a significant proportion of those in professional roles. Among professional women, 45% cited maternity as the key pinch point in their careers.

For both organisations and individuals, specialist maternity coaching provides an important and effective intervention at this critical time. It enables women to make appropriate career choices to suit their situation, preferences and aspirations, and enables organisations to retain their talented performers and their investment in their development and future potential. [In 2006, the CIPD calculated the cost of replacing such employees as being between £8k and £12k per person].

Our maternity coaches provide specialist support and a confidential sounding board to executive women. Being outside the organisation, they have no agenda on the woman's career and provide an objective detachment to help each woman find the best solution to their particular circumstances: whether that means a rapid return to work or a delayed or indefinite return.

​We provide comprehensive and 'light' maternity returner programmes, and will also tailor a programme to meet your organisation's specific requirements. To learn more about the programmes and how your company can benefit call or email us.
